OMG, I have been right where you are, but not with 5cc's at the time. I have not gotten over 1.5 cc's at the time. That does seem like a lot to me. I think I only have 6.5 cc's in an 11 cc band after one year. I think you should stay on soft foods for a day or two and only ever sip water, gulping water can add a lot of air and cause you to burp. Check with your Dr. if it does not get any better soon. Good luck I wish you much success.

after my fills, i have to do 24hours of clear liquids, 1 week of liquids, then 1 week of pureed, then 1 week of "mushies"....maybe you need to slow down on your food consumption?

i had 5cc at once and i was fine :-)

and Janet is right, sip dont gulp.....

After a fill you should to stay on liquids and soft foods for 3 days.. You may just have to slip all your liquids all the time, to keep you from burping.. I also think 5cc is alot, I remeber my first fill I was given 4cc and I was sick so sick. My band holds 10cc. And now I only get 1.5cc after finding what works for me. Call your Dr.after 4 or 5 days if it has not goten any better you may have to have some of your fill taken out. I wish you the best.. Good Luck!

try cream of wheat, mash potatos, potted meat.....anything within guidelines that is soft. sugar free pudding, cool whip, sugar free ice-cream low sodium cream soap......Im feeling yur pain....I have to get my second fill today.....Not looking forward to the after affects

thank u guys....I went back to the doctor today and they removed 1cc so now im at 4. still a bit snug but a lot more tolerable. the somewhat good news is i lost 3lbs from wednesday.(although its not the way u wanna lose the weight for me its still a loss LOL)
